Probably this ancient belief is what the Dominion Government had in mind when it carved up South- Kasl 'Irey and slipped a portion ol Bruce County onto us. Their love for Miss Ma.phail was no doubt what prcmnted tli»"m. Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, High Commission for Canada in Great Britain, appeared at a Toronto Exhi- bition banqu.'t the other day, in a double capacity, a.s a farmer and as a promoter of trade with th«' Moth"- Country. He told some wholesome truth.s, and at least a icw of his ref- erences to the reasons why thii . , , - * -, country is not able to greatly in- have a big crop of the lusc.ous fruit crease its trade with Great Britain, imniufacture of arms when other na lions keep at it?" A hundred years ago they said the same about the slave trade. But Britain abolished slavery and has never regretted that sl.e led the nations of the world, not iirtening to the iearful ones or the "ounsel oi' those who desired to profit by the misery of their fellow.s. C.m- ndiaiis are ni»l likely to be pushed into big expenditures for war material at this time of national entrenchment We have had enough of war. Let us work for peace. i Many tons of peaches arc being turned into brandy in Oregon. They ot should be taken to heart by our pro- ducers and exporters. Britain, the High Commissioner pointed out, raises only a quarti-i- of the food required to feed her popula- tion, and for supplying the reniainde; the rest of the Dc.ninionr, a-e given ' off er for sale, preference in trade agreements. But the British people are discriminating, and we must learn two things â€" first. to send them the highest quality of ipoods; and second, to keep up a con tinuous supply throughout the year, that is, orderly marketing. Our bacon evports have more than doubled in the pa.st year, but we still are supplying only seven per cent of the British market, and our feeders must see to it that the type of pro- duct demanded by the British public is provided for export. Now we W6 told that in the eyes of the overseas consumer very much of our bacon is t'.is year and it was a question whether the surplus fruit should be dumped into the V'aiefic Ocean or turned into intoxicants. Meantime, many thousands of consumers find it difficult to raise the price asked for such peaches as the dealers see fit to An observant medical authority volunteers the information that in th" far distant future man will not, we think, be ten feot in height, but four feet. That height is enough lor any- body, now that all the heavy work is done by machinery. Stand anywhere you like and watch people getting into motor cars. They are all too tall for motoring. The human ra-t will have to be shortened. That is the fashion tendency "jf the future as we see it. But is it not a fact that ' many a zealous traveller over the . highways are "short" enough already 7 too heavy and fat on the shoulder and on the belly. This defect in our pigs has been pointed out by British deal- ers for years, but somehow many of OUT producers have ignored it, and continued to ignore it. As an ex- ample, the Dominion Agricultural De- partment have made a speculative purchase of seventy-five -Swedish hogs, a type that may provide an example of pig that will eventually meet the demands ol' the old world consumers. But speedy change ap- pears desirable if the revived market for bacon is not to follow that of Canadian cheese in Britain. Form- erly Canada supplied sixty per cent of the British market for cheese; now we fill only twenty-two per cent and New Zealand has been permitted to take our place in that field. Then the people of Britain eat thirty-five million hundred-weight ot beef, of which they import eighteen million hundred-weight, of this nine million hundred-weight is frozen meat from the Argentine Republic, which sells for half the price of fresh Can- adian beef. We have never been able to see why, with the advantages Canada po.sssses, this country has not been able to sell more meat to the Motherland, but our farmers would not find it profitable to sell their meats at the low price paid for South American products. Doubtless that is the explanation. The High Com- missioner confesses that he has been thoroughly ashamed at times to see the Canadian cattle arriving in the British market, and l.f counsels farm- ers to maintain the highest (luality of expoii.s. Surely, he should give this advice specially to the packers. What can be effected for proi)erly mr.;-keted products is seen in the ?x perien.e with our apples, th? select- ing and packing of \Yhich has so.im- pl'ovt-d that a greatly increased mark- et has been acquired, and ii likely to be prcfital)^' enlarged if ccntinuc I scrupulous care is taken to only send overseas the choicest of prodj^ts under Uie best marlieting conditions, Mr. Ferguson l.ai rrsf'ted by his arjourn in Britain, .'or he now pnint:^ out to his fellow--ountryni»n in Can- ada that this Ernrtire trad; cannot b- one-sided, asd that if we woul:' continue to sell to the Briti.sh people wc must freely buy their products in return. A leading British author, comment- ing on the recent effort of militarist advocates to stampede Canadian pub- lic men into increased expenditure for war appliances, tells us that these argurments are exactly on the lines of those used by men who, a century ago, defended the slave trade. Indeed, the pafallel is amazing. The milit- arists say that war is human nature, and cannot be prevented; the salvo- dealers said slavery was human na- ture and its existence could not be com'jatted. The militarists argut that disarmament will take from hundreds of thou.^ands of workers their employment; the slave-dealert said the same about the abolition of slavery. The militants ask "What's W.ld Mother's Love Adopts Stray Calf stories of motherly love never fail to find a response in the hearts of men the world over. And when such tales concern parent animals and their young, there is a certain wistfulncss iibout them that is irresistible. The following curious story of the maternal instinct in animals is told by A. McDonald, who has a farm not fay from North Bay, in northern Ontario The tale is curious because it present', an odd study of motherly protection on the one hand and parental neglect that is rare among animals, on the other. A young calf disappeared from Mc- Donald's farm shortly after its birth. For some reason or other, its mother had shown a strange indifference to her offspring from the very beginn- ing, having come home to the barn without the calf on the day it was ix)rn. McDonald, knowing of the birth, had to bring the calf in himself. Upon discovering that the calf was missing', he at once began a search. After spending four days hunting it, he finally found it in the care of a wild doe. Though frightened at his approach, the doe would not leave the side of the young calf, which did not seem to share its fear of men. The deer had adopted the neglected calf and was jealously protecting it. The calf seemed to be thri'ving and was loath to leave its foster mother. It was with great dififculty that it was secured and brought home. Now, it seems that in addition to the calf, McDonald will have the doe in con- stant attendance â€" though at a discreet distance â€" until the calf is full grown.
